There is a new monarch! Huzzah! Hurrah! Strike up the band and come bear witness.!

What?  Wait!  You saw it on the telly?  And all over the internet yesterday?  Pah! A King on the other side of the world might be interesting to some but I’m talking about a very different monarch. Because (drumroll please) ….

Queen Narelle is almost here!

Who is this new Queen? Why she is THE Queen (especially if  you ask her!) and although she may be a little haughty she is also very special.

Did I mention she is also a cat? And the star of my new verse novel?

Well, she is – and I absolutely cannot wait to introduce you to her. But, according to the people at Walker Books I do have to wait. But only for one more month!

And, in the meantime, I am gearing up to share lots of tidbits – some about the book, some about me, and lots of cat fun.

I’ll be sharing some of this here on the website, and other bits and pieces on Instagram and Facebook – so if you don’t already follow me, now’s the time!  And, of course, I look forward to also sharing in face to face events. so watch this space for details of launches and appearances (and, if you’d like to visit your school, bookshop, festival,  or any other event – let me know)

And, although you have to wait a month to  get your hands on a copy, you can preorder now online or drop in to your local bookshop and ask them to save you a copy.

Life is purrfect when there is a new book in the air!
